A network of 250 miles (400 km) of county highways serves Taylor County's rural areas. Major east-west highways include A, D, M, and O. Major north-south routes include C, E, and H.
Towns in Taylor County are responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of their individual town roads.
There is one designated Rustic Road in Taylor County. Dedicated in 1975, Rustic Road No. 1, a five-mile (8 km) long gravel road between STH 102 and CTH D near Rib Lake was the first Rustic Road in Wisconsin. This road crosses through scenic hills and valleys created by glaciers nearly 12,000 years ago. A historical marker alongside the road commemorates the designation.
